This study proposes to look at the outcomes of certification of security standards on supply chain efficiency. This research used the Partial Least Square method to assess the influence of security on efficiency. The results of this study conclude that the certification of security standards affects the efficiency of the supply chain. Therefore, it is hoped that more companies will join this security certification program. Keywords: international trade, supply chain, security, efficiency ABSTRAK:Keamanan pada rantai suplai (supply chain) penting untuk menghindari risiko-risko seperti keterlambatan penanganan di bea cukai dan pencurian. Dan pemerintah saat ini mengeluarkan program sertifikasi keamanan untuk mereduksi risiko-risiko tersebut. Namun dampak sertifikasi keamanan ini terhadap efisiensi rantai suplai tidak selalu dipahami. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh sertifikasi standar keamanan tersebut terhadap efisiensi supply chain. Dampak sertifikasi keamanan terhadap efisiensi rantai pasokan diuji menggunakan metode Partial Least Square (PLS). Simpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sertifikasi standar keamanan tersebut berpengaruh terhadap efisiensi supply chain. Oleh karena itu, diharapkan bahwa makin banyak perusahaan yang akan tergabung dalam program sertifikasi keamanan ini.Kata Kunci: perdagangan internasional, rantai pasokan, keamanan, efisiensi

The research model is analysed using partial least square method as a part of structural equation modelling.FindingsThere are positive and significant influences between work–life balance and the intention to pursue accounting career when supported by accounting career image. The positive perception of accounting career image motivates accounting students to pursue accounting careers. Accounting students argue that attaining a balance between work and personal life can improve positive perceptions of accounting careers, which drive them to pursue a career in accounting.

In addition, positive image of accounting profession is found to be able to strengthen the positive influence of the work–life balance to pursue accounting careers.Research limitations/implicationsFurther studies can continue along the line of this study as the intention to choose an accounting career can change from time to time. In addition, the generational difference may create a discrepancy in perception and orientation in choosing accounting careers. Therefore, future studies should consider a broader scope and more updated objects.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that working experience is an essential part for accounting students in choosing accounting careers, and so higher education institutions need to consider including field work-practice in their curriculums. Companies are also expected to prioritise work–life balance since it will motivate accounting students to choose an accounting career.Originality/valueThis study investigates the link between work–life balance and decisions to pursue accounting careers through accounting students' perceptions in Indonesia. This study combines the influences of work–life balance and accounting career image on the intention to pursue accounting careers in one model, in which accounting career image is the mediating variable in the indirect link of work–life balance.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of corporate culture (CC) and hedonic motivation (HM) on the adoption of an information system (IS) inside a Moroccan company. To do so, the authors have combined and merged the “unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2” along with the “Nguyen and Aoyama’s model” that covers the subject of CC. Later, the authors tested the research model within a Moroccan company. Design/methodology/approach In the present work, the authors used a quantitative analysis approach. Survey data were collected through oral interviews and analysis was performed based on the “partial least square” method, over a 94 sample of direct IS users. Findings The findings of the present investigation demonstrate the reliability and the validity of the established measurement model. Concerning the structural model, results support all hypotheses but with different effect size. The conclusion that can be extracted from this study is that CC and HM are important factors in the adoption process within the Moroccan firm. Originality/value This study enhances the understanding of the major factors affecting the adoption of an IS in a developing country. While several studies on adoption have been conducted, this study’s originality and contribution lays in the examination of the rarely evaluated factors: HM and CC.
